TORONTO – Via Rail service disruptions will continue all day Friday on the Toronto to Montreal and Toronto to Ottawa routes after a CN freight train derailed near Brockville, Ont., early Thursday and won’t fully resume until Saturday morning.

The company said in a media release that the accident caused damage to the tracks and repairs are needed.

“Passengers scheduled to travel on the affected routes will be transported to their destinations by motorcoach,” Via said. “Delays are expected through to the end of the day.”

Nearly 4,000 passengers were affected by the accident which is still under investigation by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.
